Linux

This page is a Swedish Win!

	Linux is FINNISH :DDD
	GONSIDER BRINGIG A WARM BLANGET AND ANDI SOBIET BROBOGANDA BOSDER :DDD ELAKÖÖN SUOMEN VALTAKUNTA :DDD

	Microsoft may vandalize this page gem from time to time.

Linux is Spanish vantagray iron from the lukewarm surface of Mulattopurgatorium.

GNU+Linux Or as I have recently taken to calling it, GANOO/Systemd/Udev/DBus/Wayland/TransRights/Loonix is the result of decades of combined effort between controversial software developer Richard ("fat atheist jew") Stallman and accomplished hardware engineer Linus Torvalds. It really only exists to further the purposes of soyposting because you can't actually use it for school or work^{[it just is, ok?]} since that usually requires you to use Microsoft Office to write shitty text files (you retard LibreOffice exists), or Adobe Photoshop to draw circles (which is impossible to do in GIMP) (you retard theres other programs than GIMP), but you can quote 'boys like there's no tomorrow'. It is primarily used by either chuds or trannies, there is no in-between.

Linux is a kernel and not an operating system, albeit allowing for a shit ton of crappy(and gemmy) OS thingythings to even exist. The vanilla linux kernel is almost 40% proprietary binary blobs^[Marge...], Alternatives can be GANOO-slash-Linux-libre, Hurd, Plan9 or any BSD like FreeBSD or OpenBSD! DEATH TO THE PENGUIN!

Recently although Linux was written only in C (because Linus was too much of a nigger to understand C++ o algo), it has begun to be written in Rust due to a growing tranny community.

Micoalsoft has recently acknowledged the superiority of Linux and thus provided Windows Subsystem for Linux as a way to run the Linux kernel within Windows.

PewDiePie has switched to Linux recently therefore it is a Swedish win.

GANOO/Loonix Distros

oh nonononono ganoocacas they really look like this

• Ubuntu: Loonix for NPCs but trannies seethe when you use it so it's good (even though Ubuntu is an ancient African word for "humanity to others" or something like that). Recently started to jew out by adding useless bloatware.
• Linux Mint: actually a pretty good distro for normal people, the creator also hates Jews in case you care about that stuff^🗝️
• Arch Troonix: The favorite distro of troons. And Quote.
• Artix Loonix: Like the above but without SoystemD. Its creators hate troons.
• Gentoo: The favorite distro of Aryans. << TRVTH NVKE TRVTH NVKE!!!! < lienvke
• Tails OS: Best distro for 'teens. Best known for BTFOing le glowies. Otherwise lackluster.
• VoidLoonix: same as Artix Loonix but the creators are troons.
• Slackware: oldfag distro that nobody cares about anymore.
• Debian: Outdated packages award.
• Devuan: Debian but without soystemD.
• Fedora: Corporate distro or something.
• Pardus: Roach glowie distro
• Deepin: Chink glowie distro
• Astra: Ruzzian glowie distro
• Kali: Distro for jeets to larp as 1337 381N H4X0rz
• OpenMandriva Lx: Oldfag distro continuation of Mandrake, is often shilled by linux jewtuber Lunduke for not being woke or whatever

Desktop Environments

• KDE Plasma - The one that looks the most like Windows (ev&oe cinnamon looks even more like it) <--Simply untrue take your meds, Microsoft even stole some ideas from them^{[it just is, ok?]}, It is also known for being very customisable
• GNOME - Soyware o algo, Quote uses this.
• GNOME Legacy - MATE but more recent o algo
• Cinnamon - A fork from Gnome, basically only used by default on one single Distro (Linux Mint) (ev&oe some other distros have it but nobody uses it)
• MATE - A fork from an old version of Gnome
• XFCE - Lightweight DE
• Budgie - DE that nobody cares about
• Unity - Made by the Ubuntu devs for them to use instead of Gnome, in the end it was a huge waste of money and time and they switched back to Gnome
• DDE - Desktop Environment used by the chinese spyware distro Deepin
• LXDE - Yet another lightweight DE o algo, looks outdated.
• LXQt - LXDE but is more modern and uses Qt.

Elitism

Some loonix fans are trannies who will call you a "kiddy" for using debian and ubuntu based distros AKA distros that are actually good.

Linus Troonvalds

Somebody call fuckin' Soyberg! The following page or section was written during a schizo episode. You WILL remind the author to take his meds.

Linus Torvalds is trans btw, if that matters.

Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, is a known lolcow. Xe is best known for for being called a nigger by Terry Davis, seething about how C++ is bad or something despite being literally just a better version of C, being BVCK BROKEN by Russians so hard xe had a schizo meltdown, and being trans^{[it just is, ok?]}.

However, Linus is from Finland and descends from a family of Swedish origin, so maybe Linux is a Swedish win? (Even though PewDiePie uses it thus making it a Swedish win automatically)

Soyquoting with Bash^[Marge...]

The man behind the tools used here, Richard Soylman

Here are some ways to optimize and invigorate your soyquoting. Even if you have Windows or whatever, just install Bash (Borne-again Soy H). Make sure you have sed and the other tools made by the fat guy who eats shit from his foot. (Emacs will always be a gem, in fact, we are working on sharty support for emacs so that richard stallman will be able to post on /sci/ personally!)

# Greentext every line
echo "OFFENDING_TEXT_HERE" | sed 's/^/>/g' # or
sed 's/^/>/g' "OFFENDING_TEXT_FILE"

# Redtext every line
echo "OFFENDING_TEXT_HERE" | sed 's/^\(.*\)$/==\1==/g' # or,
sed 's/^\(.*\)$/==\1==/g' "OFFENDING_TEXT_FILE"

# Sort text and then greentext it (goes well with Markovquoting)
echo "SOYSPEAK_HERE" | sort | sed 's/^/>/g'

# Capitalize everything and greentext it
THE_SOY="PUT_TEXT_HERE"
echo "$THE_SOY" | sed 's/^\(.*\)/>\U&/g' # or,
echo "$THE_SOY" | tr [:lower:] [:upper:] | sed 's/^/>/g'

# You-will-eat-the-bugsquoting
echo "SOYSPEAK_HERE" | sed 's/^/>YOU WILL /g'

# The above but more schwab-like and negative
echo "SOYSPEAK_HERE" | sed 's/^/>YOU WILL NOT /g'

# Post-schwabquoting
echo "SOYSPEAK_HERE" | sed 's/^/>AND YOU WILL BE /g'

# Add Artificial (You)s to every link-quote
sed -E 's/(>>[0-9]+)/\1 (You)/g' "OFFENDING_TEXT_FILE"

# Meme arrow test-to-speech (save this as greentext.sh and chmod +x greentext.sh)
#!/bin/sh
text=$(cat | sed 's/&/&/g; s/</\</g; s/>/\>/g')
checksum=$(echo -n "415${text}1mp35883747uetivb9tb8108wfj" | md5sum | cut -d' ' -f1)

How to install (WARNING: this section was made by a retarded ESL shitskin clitty leaking because his ESL computer is having problems while installing linux)

So, you finally decided to make the switch from Bimbows or FagOS to GANOO/Loonix, huh? If you First of all, you’re already a certified soydev (And you'll secretly use the install.sh script, lie to people that you didnt. But deep inside of you, you know that you did, and you are only larping) Here’s a quick rundown of how to do it:

1. Choose a Distro.

Pick a distro from the Distros Section. (If you picked Arch Troonix please ack)

2. Download an ISO from some shady mirror that definitely isn’t compromised.

Protip: Always download from the most obscure third-party link you can find on some Russian forum. Bonus points if it’s a torrent seeded by one guy. (definitely do NOT hash it)

(download it from its website retard)

3. "Burn" it to a USB drive using a tool that’s definitely not going to fail halfway through.

On Windows, you’ll probably use Rufus. On Linux, you’ll feel superior because you used dd to nuke your data partition instead of the USB.

4. Boot into the installer and realize your Wi-Fi card isn’t supported.

Time to plug in that 30-meter Ethernet cable because (You) are too dumb to install the drivers yet. << if you can't install drivers go use Loonix Mint

5. Partition your disk like an absolute madman.

Create 5 different partitions for /boot, /home, /, /swap, and the obligatory /useless just because someone on /g/ told you to.

6. Install a minimalist desktop environment to save RAM.

Spend the next week configuring i3 or AwesomeWM just to realize you hate tiling WMs and switch to KDE anyway.

7. Realize your graphics drivers aren’t working.

Enter the eternal struggle of fighting with NVIDIA’s proprietary blobs versus the open-source drivers that make your GPU run like a potato. If you're not a glowie troon you use AMD so you don't have to deal with this. (linus troonvalds is clapping for you.)

8. Finally get everything set up and realize you miss Photoshop.

Congrats! You’re now officially a Linux user. Enjoy drawing circles in Krita while secretly dual-booting into Windows for anything that actually needs to work.

Alternative Installation Methods

• Virtual Machines: So you can pretend to be a 1337 381N H4X0r without touching your main OS.
• WSL: For when you want to LARP as a Linux user but can’t let go of Microsoft’s grip on your soul.
• Docker: So you can isolate your failures in neat little containers.

In the end, you'll probably just go back to Windows after realizing that ricing your desktop isn’t actually a productive use of your time. But hey, at least you learned how to format your hard drive — multiple times.
